YouTube Description:

It is a toy, it is a puzzle and, according to its creator, it is also a piece of art In 1974, Hungarian architect Ernő Rubik created his eponymous Cube as a teaching tool for his students. His students loved playing with the Cube which inspired him to make it more widely available. Forty years on, the Cube has sold 350 million copies making it the most popular puzzle of all time. Initially, Mr Rubik was not dreaming of mass production or phenomenal sales figures. He did not even have a solution for his own puzzle. It took him a month to work out how to solve it. He told Witness about the inspiration for his invention and how it took the world by storm. Witness, the stories of our times told by the people who were there.

Only later in my life did I truly appreciate the Rubik's Cube... sadly, I got my cube a bit too early before they transitioned over to the latest no-sticker design. As much as I'd like to get the latest design iteration, my cube still works just as well and still has all of the sticker markings.... for now.

Discarding this post - discard requested by original submitter oritteropo.

Why?

It only attracted 15 views and 3 votes in two months. I do sometimes leave vids in my pqueue if I really like them, but if I don't care that much and they attract a large round of indifference I'm just as likely to discard.

If you love it to bits, and check that it wouldn't make a dupe, feel free to promote it back into the queue.
